Joy-Anna Duggar: Does Her Family Think She Got Pregnant Out of Wedlock?

If you’re a fan of her family, then you’ve probably heard by now that Joy-Anna Duggar is pregnant with her first child.

The news came as a surprise to many as Joy-Anna is only 19, and she married Austin Forsyth just three short months ago.

(Incidentally, this is the first time a Duggar pregnancy has come as a surprise to anyone.)

Due to how soon the announcement was made after the wedding and the fact that the Duggars claim to abstain from all forms of premarital sexual conduct, perhaps speculation that Joy-Anna got married out of wedlock was inevitable.

Now, a source close to the family has confirmed to Radar Online that even within Joy-Anna’s speculation, there are those with some serious questions aboyut the date of conception.

“The pregnancy was very fast,” the source says.

“I don’t see it being far fetched when you have such strict rules before marriage.”

Asked if Joy-Anna got pregnant prior ro tying the knot, the source replied vaguely, “There is always a chance.”

In case that wasn’t obtuse enough, the “insider” then offered an answer that literally anyone on the planet could have given:

“I couldn’t give you a definite answer, but why not?” said the source, who were beginning to suspect was just a guy waiting at a bus stop.

Okay, so this particular insider wasn’t much help, but there is legitimate reason to believe that Joy-Anna got knocked up prior to saying “I do.”

For one thing, many have claimed that her wedding date was moved up several months without explanation.

On top of that, at least one doctor who examined recent photos stated that Joy-Anna seems to be 4 or 5 months pregnant.

Additionally, we know that Joy-Anna and Austin broke her family’s courtship rules – the young couple admitted as much on an epsiode of counting on.

We just don’t know how far they went.

“We’re humans and sometimes we don’t always abide perfectly by our rules. We try. That was a real hard try,” Austin explained.

In all likelihood, the couple went no further than “front-hugging” (unmarried couples are only permitted to engage in “side-hugs” according to the Duggars’ rules), but as to quote the the family leaker, “there is always a chance” they did more.

Of course, given how carefully the Duggars guard their wholesome image, if the wedding really did take place in a shotgun scenario, we’ll probably never hear about it.

Taylor Swift: Abandoned By Her Squad?

Taylor Swift has been experiencing a lot of ups and downs recently.

Her return to the music world was less triumphant than expected, as “Look What You Made Me Do” was met with a mixed (at best) response from both critics and the ear-having public in general.

Her fortunes seemed to turn around with the release of the single’s music video, which was hailed for its daring take on Taylor’s many reinventions.

Less than one week after the release, however, many who initially applauded Swift are re-assessing the video, thanks in large part to what many perceive as petty shots at fellow celebs, including what might be a truly tasteless sight gag inspired by Kim Kardashian being robbed at gunpoint.

As one of the music industry’s biggest names, Taylor is well acquainted with what a fickle mistress the public can be, but even she’s never inspired such rapid changes in opinion.

In the past, whenever Swift was at a low point, be it the result of a breakup or one of her many, messy feuds, fans comforted themselves with the knowledge that she still had her “squad” of famous friends to lean on for support.

These days, however, several members of Taylor’s clique seem intent on distancing themselves from the singer.

Rumors of Taylor’s “squad problems” are nothing new, but this time Swift herself seems to be acknowledging that she’s not as popular with fellow young female celebs as she used to be.

The “LWYMMD” video cleverly acknowledges the dissipation of the squad with a scene in which Taylor sports a shirt signed by such A-list friends as  Lena Dunham, Selena Gomez, and Gigi Hadid.

Many have noted that some notable names – including that of Taylor’s supposed best friend Karlie Kloss – are glaringly absent from the shirt.

Even more telling is the fact that few of Taylor’s friends have voiced their support for her in the week since “LWYMMD” was released.

That’s not terribly surprising, as the single has been scathingly critiqued not only for representing some of the weakest songwriting of Taylor’s career, but also for alleged bullying and cultural appropriation.

The truth is, befriending Taylor used to be a quick and easy way for a lesser-known celeb to boost her public and earn instant cool cred.

These days, however, being besties with Swift can serve as a liability, as the members of her squad often find themselves in the position of being forced to defend flimsy arguments and problematic missteps.

As The Daily Beast points out, Selena Gomez became a victim of this phenomenon last year.

In the early days of Swift’s feud with Kim Kardashian, Gomez rushed to her friend’s defense, reminding fans that “there are more important things to talk about” than a petty squabble among celebs.

This prompted fans to seek out Gomez’s stances on important topical issues, such as the Black Lives Matter movement, only to find she rarely addresses such issues.

The situation proved to be no more than a minor road bump in Selena’s career, but it sort of thing one avoids entirely by not joining Swift’s squad, and thus, implicitly co-signing the shade she throws at other public figures.

That’s not to say that all of Taylor’s friends buddied up to her solely for the attention, but it does seem that Taylor’s inability to let go of a grudge is having a negative impact on more than just her music.
